I have started alternating between Mending Monday or Makeover Monday depending on what has accumulated in my sewing closet during the week.

Today I have a few t-shirts that have small holes to mend so mending will be my focus this morning. I don’t want to spend much more than 30 minutes on project time this morning as I have some cleaning tasks to take care also. And, the weather is beautiful here so being outside with the kids is a priority!

I quickly mended the holes in two t-shirts of mine by hand. Needle, thread, and a quick whip stitch typically does the trick!

For some reason my t-shirts often get tiny holes in the front stomach area – not sure why. I do buy a lot of my shirts second hand, but it has happened to new shirts as well. A mystery to be solved, I guess.

I have a long-sleeved shirt to mend also, but the weather is hot now so I won’t be using that shirt much. When I was folding laundry I noticed that a pocket in a pair of sweatpants of my husbands is falling off so I am about half-way through sewing that back on. Once I finish that I will be done with mending for today.

I think next week will be a Makeover Monday as I have a couple pairs of pajamas to turn into summer pajamas for my boys.
